Chandler partnered with Under Armour and Dakota County Technical College to participate in the 2016 PAVE Student Design Challenge, a unique design contest where students gain real world experience working with retailers and manufacturers. The resulting designs from the participants are then brought to life at GlobalShop, allowing the students’ works to be seen by the leaders in the retail design and visual merchandising industries.
PAVE Design Challenge: At GlobalShop, PAVE offers a unique design challenge that engages retailers, manufacturers and design schools. This competition allows students to take part in a real-world project and offers retailers and manufacturers the opportunity to take part in a project that could be a prototype for the retailer and a new project for the manufacturer. The resulting designs from the participants are then brought to life at GlobalShop, allowing the students’ works to be seen by the leaders in the retail design and visual merchandising industries.
PAVE is a vital and effective organization that enables young talent to build successful careers in all aspects of the retail industry.
